La vie de château
Designer Perrette Samouiloff is passionate about costumes. For us cross stitchers, she imagines a scene at the French court, that of the young King Louis XIV (the future Sun King), at the time when the Marquise de Montespan became his favorite. Men wear wigs and heels. The king is in full discussion with his architect, planning the sumptuous château of Versailles. In the center of the room is a standing globe, typical of the time. On the right, a young woman plays with a small dog, perhaps trying to attract the attention of the king?

Have you ever mounted your stitched pieces accordion style? It's a great way of displaying your mini motifs because they stand up on their own and look great on a mantlepiece.

More Christmas Ornaments is a complement to the popular 8 Christmas ornament motifs. It comes with a free tutorial for mounting the ornaments and making the sleek ribbon tassel. The tuturial can also be downloaded from our free tutorials page.

Grow your own vegetable patch
We were delighted to receive this new pattern by Perrette Samouiloff because it triggered so many project ideas. Each little motif is easy to place according to your own constraints, depending what you want to stitch. You can make a recipe book cover, or space out the motif on a shopping bag (great for the farmer's market!). If you've got little ones around, you can stitch different baby bibs and place mats (they will all fight for the carrots!). Or you could stitch it as it is, beautiful in any case.
